'torró' = a sweet rather like nougat which is eaten particularly around Christmas. It has Arabic origins and is made of honey, egg whites, almonds and hazelnuts.There are two traditional varieties: alicante which is hard and contains whole almonds, and, jijona, which is soft and made from crushed almonds.
So, we could translate it as nougat
Bakery = 'forn', but you can also have cakes there
pastry shop = similar to 'forn' but more emphasis on cakes, pastry, etc.
Apart from the two above, we have other options for 'pastisseria' - concepts in English are not so 'clear-cut'. Follow the links and find out!
